The vehicle's design also receives a makeover with sporty elements like a revised front bumper, rear spoiler, DRLs, and diffuser, enhancing both aesthetics and aerodynamics. Inside, the Model 3 Performance features 12-way adjustable sports seats with improved cushioning for an enhanced driving experience, along with ventilation and heating options.
